Yahiko was Konan’s love interest in Naruto.
Biography[]
Yahiko met Konan during a time of war. They were orphans who travelled the countryside looking for food. Along the way they met Nagato, a fellow orphan with potent ocular powers. The three orphans then ran into the Sannin, legendary ninja from an enemy nation. Feeling guilty over what their fighting had done for these children, one of the Sannin - Jiraiya - offered to train them in the ways of ninjutsu.
Over time, Nagato, Konan, Yahiko and Jiraiya became like a family. Yahiko showed the most enthusiasm, striving to use his ninja skills to make their nation a better place to live. He also started flirting with Konan. After three years, Jiraiya parted ways with the orphans, telling them they were skilled enough to look after themselves now.
